Know+Do are delighted to announce we can once again work with the Cheshire and Warrington business grants programme managed by Blue Orchid.
This opportunity provides micro, small and medium sized businesses with access to a grant that reduces the investment they need to make in our consultancy support by 33%. It means any work Know+Do undertakes for you through this scheme - which you commission and control - is more accessible than ever before. Such, extra resource is crucial in the current circumstances all business find themselves in with the challenge of the coronavirus lockdown.
Our support can cover a range of business needs such as:
Sales and marketing plans

Business change or new processes
Planning and business development
Examples of recent Know+Do projects include:
A strategic review of a manufacturing company’s sales plans which included analysis of current and new markets, development of staff skills and knowledge and an 18 month action plan for growth.
A in-depth process of support to the founders of a small design business wanting to review their plans and expectations for their company, including a competitor analysis, skills mapping of their team and a series of 3 month sprint plans to set and sustain the changes.
Know+Do’s approach to consultancy is to work WITH a client, ensuring we build the capabilities and knowledge within the company’s team to leave a sustainable plan.

We appoint experienced consultants to each contract and agree timelines, outcomes and fees in advance.
